well with your current set ups a protein skimmer isnt necessarly needed. itll just pull out of of the desolved organics. which can also be accomplished with pwc. and a sump or fuge would always help more than hurt. with the fuge you could have macro algae in and would keep your nitrAtes down and help with phosphates. and with a sump its general added water volume and room for heaters top off etc..
